The fact that there is barely any news coming out of Japan on a daily basis blows my mind away it is just incredible. I'm in Ontario, Canada and its
pretty clear to me that based on models that have been released since day one of this disaster

The masters of puppets will never put humanity, or life in general, above their beloved economy. They have done their work well of burying this
disaster. Of course the stupid sheople swallow it all and go about as if they are not being slowly cantaminated. One of these days this planet is
gonna shake us all off like fleas. ~SheopleNation

This is going to sound off the wall but I had some tests done on my noggin a few years ago related to a possible brain tumor. I had a barium injection
as part of the procedure for the scan. I don't know if it was an MRI or a Catscan or whatever. I'm not knowledgeable about medical technical stuff.

I was a little frightened of the radiation from the barium but the technician told me it has a very short half life and would not be active after a
couple of days (I think). Any technical faults in this story are mine, not his.

Anyway, I have been a serious meditator since 1976, so I am very familiar with sensations in the body and have developed better than average awareness
of my body, through meditation.

While sleeping, I became aware of the sensation of the barium in my brain . . . radiating.

It felt like being sunburned, . . . from the inside, in a small area inside my head. It was odd, not painful, but I have fair skin and the
sensation of being sunburned, from childhood, is well established in my history of sensory experiences.

Having the radiation source in me was like feeling the rays of the sun, inside, sunburning me.

These type issues are what concern me. But I have no idea where exactly your location is or the statistics for thyroid problems for the age group
that your daughter is in, i would look into it. Hope your daughter feels well... Sorry everyone i didn't mean to thread jack..

While reports keep rolling in, the official total stands at 130 dead ring seals washing up in the Bering Strait. Found with bleeding lesions on
the hind flippers, irritated skin around the eyes and nose, and patchy hair loss on the animals’ fur coat, these coincide perfectly with the
symptoms of radiation poisoning for both humans and other animals. According to Medline Plus, some key symptoms of radiation sickness are:

Hair loss (seen on the fur coats of the animals)
Open sores on the skin (found on the hind flippers)
Skin burns such as redness and blistering (seen around the eyes and nose)
Confusion Inflammation of exposed areas
Seal Symptoms Perfectly Match Radiation Sickness Indicators According to the reports,

the animals are known to have suffered from many of these key symptoms, with ongoing research examining the bodies of the seals for further
indications. It should be no surprise that Fukushima radiation is killing animals in the Pacific, as peer-reviewed research has already linked
Fukushima radiation to the deaths of over 14,000 humans. In fact, 130 seal deaths is most likely only the beginning. It will surely not be long before
an increased death toll is reported not only for ring seals, but other creatures dwelling in the Pacific and near the Fukushima disaster as
well.

my daughter started having thyroid problems in September. I try not to think it could be connected but I worry that it is.

So sorry to hear about your daughter,my heart goes out to you.
You daughters location would be helpful,like on the west coast of the US?
Their are many on here who could help pin point the rads in your local.

I as well hope that she will be ok my friend. They put economics, profit and power over all life on this planet. I hope that what's going on with your
daughter turns out to have nothing to do with any of that. I wish you and your family only the best. ~SheopleNation

Why didn't they make this the first thing they tested for, to rule it out.

Because they believed Tepco and JapGov when they said that everything was under control and here was no need to worry as any radiation releases would
have been minimal. Anything else would call in to question the official reports, and we all know how reliable those reports are...right?

Sellafield is indeed on of the big baddies of oceanic pollution and not many people even know about it.

Regarding the other potential causes you mention, your first link is an article from 2009 and the second is 2007.

While both of those have the potential to affect the seals (ringed, bearded and don't forget walruses mentioned in the October article) in the same
way as we are seeing now, the timing is a bit suspect.

Are there reports of animals with similar symptoms in this vicinity from before March 2011?

Regardless of the cause (and you are correct in that trying to directly link it to Fukushima is difficult) there is a tremendous amount of pollution
being dumped in to the sea from a variety of sourcs, and has been for decades.

At some point critical mass will be reached (pun intended) and we may see massive die offs which will bode get poorly for us humans...

How can they possibly release the data stating that seals and other aquatic animals are now starting to drop dead from Fukishima's radiation
poisoning of the oceans (and ultimately the entire hydrological cycle) ? Imagine the panic if that info spreads across the media like a
wildfire...

Nope, TPTB will never let the truth out until it gets leaked many many years later. They do not trust the public to handle the situation like
rational grownups. It's far better to just let us all slowly drop dead alongside the food chain.

Unless we have some wonderfully humanitarian scientists willing to put their lives on the line and leak the data out right away, money and power will
keep this all under wraps.

It's how the nuclear shills have been able to claim their bogus safe levels of radiation all these years... they have the money and power to sweep
the truth under the rug long enough to make it virtually impossible to prove direct scientific causation in the time frame that it needs to be done...
You can't claim causation 20 years after the fact because by that time 6000 other possible factors can fall into play.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has declared the seals' deaths an "unusual mortality event" (UME). According to
Mother Jones Magazine, a declaration of a UME triggers a scientific investigation. At least two of the three recently declared marine UMEs have
implications for human health.

So looking up the food chain from seals, we have polar bears (which haven't been symptomatic), sharks and orca are probably eating seal also.

What animals would be on the equivalent level of the chain as seals and eating the same things they, along with walruses, are?

Necropsies and lab tests have found lesions, fluid in the lungs white spots on the liver and abnormal brain growths, the release said. Some
animals were found with smaller-than-usual lymph nodes, which could indicate that the animal's immune system was compromised.

The abnormal lesions do not appear to be isolated to Alaska. Seals and walruses in Canada and Russia have also been noted with similar symptoms.

"While it is not clear if the disease events are related, the timing and location of the disease suggests the possibility of transmission between the
populations, or shared exposure to an environmental cause," the release said.

I posted a reply months back on this issue, it snowed, the surfaces that was covered with the snow where radioactive, it melted, entered the sewer
system, it also rained that entered the food chain, into the ocean, birds eating radioactive food, bugs and the like, also the dropings from these
birds, the radioactive dust blowing in the wind out over land and the sea, so who in the US Government will tell the truth, media won't cover, look
at the bayou in the states dead in 10 years of oil spill by-products, very hush, hush, media will be arrested if they investergate, story was done and
canned, by navy, oil still leaking from other areas but they won't say so, so who is blow the whistle here. Peace

If radiation is the cause of the seals dying, japan could be held respinsible because of their stupid actions like dumping highly radioactive water
used in the depleted uraniun tanks directly into the ocean.

Tissue samples from Alaska's sickened ringed seals will be analyzed for evidence of radiation, but the scientist preparing to do so says he
doubts there's a connection to the Japanese nuclear plant damaged by a tsunami last year.

"My gut feeling is that there's nothing there, that the answer lies in something else that's in the sea," said John Kelly, a professor emeritus of
chemical oceanography at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

...

Kelly said the widespread presence of the seal and walrus problem indicates to him that the answer lies in something else in the northern waters.

As for other effects from the Japan nuclear plant, Kelly said, he has not been contacted to test for radiation on debris that's expected to show up
on the shore of Alaska and the West Coast, but it should be tested.

"We strongly feel that should be done," he said.

Now I have to wonder if the scientist doing the testing having the initial bias of the problem not being radiation could skew the results.

And then in the very same interview, expressing concern about the possible contamination of the debris. Why would the debris be contaminated, and the
seals (which live in the same ocean on which the debris is floating) would not?
